Subject: [mg27497] [mg27475] Number formatting for financial applications
I am having a hard time getting the format I need in my output. For some
reason Mathematica keeps putting things in engineering form when I just
want
a long number
e.g. I want to display this number
101522688.1906242
like this
$ 101,522,688.1906242 (I can do without the $ if it's too hard)
How can I achieve this without writing ten different tags each time. I just
want to have a formula with this output instead of having to wrap the
formula with AccountingForm[], NumberForm[], DigitBlock, etc. It looks
really ugly when I print it.
thanks
Felipe
